  2. Been running Fable as the orchestrator this week, with Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 5 doing the actual work underneath it. The orchestrator layer plans and delegates, the other two just execute. Fingers crossed @AnthropicAI extends Fable one more week...XToday

  7. Gal "quits design" because Fable made a logo he says he wouldn't have come up with himself. Dylan rides in to remind everyone design still matters. The comments turn into designers asking Figma to promise everything will be okay. Meanwhile @figma is betting its own future on AI progress. Yes, the bar moved. Fast. So buckle down. Learn the tools. Take the taste everyone keeps calling "the only moat left" and actually build something with it. There has never been more leverage for designers willing to dive in and learn.X1w ago
